Next Step Community Solutions

Next Step Community Solutions is a nonprofit with a mission to create healthy, vibrant communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling.

Founded in 1984, Better Business Bureau Accredited Charity Next Step has been located in Tyler, Texas since our founding in 1984. We were originally established as Sister Communities Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (SCCADA) to address the issues of youth alcohol and substance abuse. We have 3 programs that help create healthy communities through training, education, mentoring, and counseling:

Our Community Coalition Partnership Program works to bring concerned community forces together to prevent alcohol and drug abuse with East Texas youth. This program is funded primarily by the Department of State Health Services (DSHS). Our coalitions seek to alter community perceptions and public policy. We have three coalitions that support 9 counties. Our Comprehensive Counseling Program works alongside schools and juvenile probation offices to offer counseling services for less than the cost of a full-time district employee. Our Community Assistance Service helps citizens find the services they need to help them, or loved ones, overcome alcohol and/or substance abuse problems. Our staff helps them take that first step of calling the appropriate agency to schedule an assessment or counseling session.

What would happen if you gave your brain a real break today?

For Global Day of Unplugging, consider logging off for a little while. That means no scrolling, no notifications, no pressure to keep up. Instead, we replace that with space to breathe, think, rest, and be present.

Even a short break can help reset your mind and boost your mood. Real life is happening off screen, too!

When your teen or child is struggling with self-harm or intense emotions, connection is one of the most powerful protective factors. Parents don’t need perfect answers. it is your presence, patience, and safety that make a difference!

Here are some practical ways to build connection:

- Stay curious, not critical
Ask open-ended questions like:
“Can you help me understand what’s been feeling heavy lately?”
“What has been the hardest part for you this week?”

- Listen more than you fix
Resist the urge to immediately solve or minimize the pain. Sometimes youth just need to feel heard and validated before receiving advice.

- Small check-ins matter
Simple texts like:
“Thinking about you"

- Create a safe space for honesty
Reassure your child that they won’t get in trouble for sharing hard feelings and that they can talk about difficult thoughts without automatic punishment.

- Know when to seek support
If you notice warning signs or feel concerned, reaching out to a counselor or trusted professional is a strength, not a failure. Early support makes a lasting difference!
